Xiao Yanhuan was widowed at a young age and became the youngest empress dowager. She thought she would grow old alone, but fell in love with the regent, who held all the power at court. For him, she gave up her empire, only to discover that his deep love and devotion had been a lie. Condemned by thousands and cursed by all, Xiao Yanhuan leaped from the city wall before the regent’s eyes.
But fate rebounded, and she was reborn on the very day she became empress dowager.
At that moment, the ministers were asking who should be entrusted with the young emperor. Xiao Yanhuan pointed delicately. “Naturally... Prince Zhao.”
Then, before the regent could speak, Xiao Yanhuan cut in. “As for the regent, I would be grateful if you would spend the night in the palace. I have something to discuss with you.”
An outsider spending the night in the imperial harem! The ministers were in an uproar!
Reborn, Xiao Yanhuan would never again fall for that man’s honeyed words. She used Prince Zhao to keep the regent in check, recruited talented people, and gradually stripped away his power base.
Xiao Yanhuan had planned to avenge herself for her past life by locking him in the palace, so he could taste the humiliation of being accused of throwing the court into chaos.
She thought he would feel humiliated and furious, and fight back with everything he had!
But that night, the regent pinned her down on the bed. “The officials and common people are all saying the empress dowager has taken me as her lover. Shall we make the rumor true today?”
Xiao Yanhuan: ????
Oh My God! The ending is good, but it could be more perfect. I hope there can be extras about Qianqian and Sheng Huaiyu, and it would be better if there are extras about Xingruo and Aqi 😄 All in all, it's very good!!
